Published by G.W. Gray & Son, a prominent Philadelphia-based firm established in the late 1860s, this map is a testament to their renowned cartographic quality. Celebrated for producing one of the most successful atlases ("Gray's National Atlas") and for being "one of the last to employ hand coloring on maps," this piece likely dates from the 1870s. It provides invaluable insights into the development of a major American city and two significant Midwestern states during a pivotal era of growth and settlement. An exceptional find for collectors of urban and state historical maps, Midwestern Americana enthusiasts, or as a truly distinctive decorative piece. See less
